He needs to calm down or only bad things will happen.

If it was Hamilton everyone would just criticise him for whinging.
Maybe some would but not me.

IMHO Verstappen is right. RedBull seem too busy looking elsewhere. When the driver is telling you their tyres are screwed when they don’t generally you had probably better listen.
I agree with you. They all whinge at times, they are all feisty at times. They are all calm at times. People tend to forget only the juicy bits are broadcast.
Yep.

He wasn't. If they pitted at the time he wanted they'd come out behind RP, thus gifting bottas P2. He should stick to driving.
That looked and looks inevitable anyway.

You should stick to watching, Max is right, no pace on those tires though in the end it doesn’t matter the Mercedes is the way faster car as usual.

P3 is guaranteed, so why not try and stick it to bottas? I fully support pitwall here, who knows what will happen later on.

Yep then Verstappen slivers off the track into the gravel. It’s a fine line you either trust your driver or you don’t.

Looks like the rough mounting of the crub switched the engine off (the crash protection).

Indeed that’s generally happens when pushing on screwed tyres. Glad you agree.

This happens once in a blue moon to top drivers and should not even be taken into consideration. In the end pitwall was right and you (and max) were wrong, so who's silly now?
